I hope home solar turns into a normal trade. Then it will be done by regular contractors. No different than getting new roof or water heater installed.

I also think there is a place for solar company that ignores the hard sale and leases. Even better if they focus on efficiency and getting the installation price down. Franchised or training companies would also work.

As prices drop, it becomes possible to pay immediately. Or get a small loan. I wish they would ban solar leases.
